Sad news for the global warming crowd, as US emissions of CO2 have actually dropped 1.3% in 2006, despite having an economy that grew 3.3% during the same year.

Which, I guess, means that Bush has saved the planet.

But what other effects will this have? I predict thusly:

* Environmentalists stop talking about "climate change" and start talking about "fries with that".

* Dole company abandons Alaskan pineapple plantation complex.

* Al Gore wept.

* Skyrocketing sales of "I Told You So" T-shirts to climate change deniers.

* "Kyoto" once again only notable for being an anagram of "Tokyo".

* Powerful computers used to model world climate switched to BitTorrenting pirated MP3's.

* South American rainforest ecosystems collapse as trees succumb to oxygen poisoning.

* New York Times headline: "Bush Fails to Prevent Global Temperature Stagnation Crisis".

* Sheryl Crow back to twirling Charmin around her hand like spaghetti on a fork.

Some things never change.

Blogdaughter Machelle of Quality Weenie is feeling down, and there's only one thing I know of to cheer her up - a slightly late 40th birthday present:

Shirtless guy in shorts & workboots.

If that don't ease the pain, I don't know what will.

Here's how it goes.

The answer is a (more or less) completely innocent word.

The hints, however, are designed to make you think of something... not so innocent.

I'll put the first hint in the main post, and the other two in the extended entry.

Good luck.

About winning the wifey super-lotto:

Lets face it: If I got what I deserved, IÂ’d be married to a crack whore with no teeth and bad odors emanating from every orifice, who takes potshots at me every once in a while with my own guns, and regularly stabs me in my sleep.

Instead I managed, like Kim, to attract a woman who is an absolute doll; a woman who still gives me serious wood to see her naked, a good mother and wife, a joy to go to sleep next to, and wake up next to.

And I pray every night that she never comes to her senses.

Amen, brother. Thank God for senseless women who don't know any better than to marry beneath them.

The shrieking freaks at ANSWER (Act Now to Stop War and End Racism) are planning to protest Dick Cheney's address at the West Point commencement ceremony on May 26th as part of what they're calling their "Turn Up the Heat in 2007" campaign of year-long slogan-chanting.

What's the matter with these people? It's Memorial Day weekend! Can't they take a break from rooting against the troops to have a barbecue or something?

Anyway, after reading yet another of their tiresome screeds, I nodded off out of sheer boredom and had the most wonderful dream. I was transported to a happy world where ANSWER was actually a group of pro-victory patriots which wanted America to win this war as much as this world's ANSWER wants America to lose it. And in that beautiful dream, their "Turn up the Heat in 2007" page looked something like this:

A Year of Protest and Resistance

 On March 17, tens of thousands of people marched on the Pentagon. Between March 17-20, more than 1,000 protests took place in cities and towns throughout the country.

The people of the country want the war to end immediately in victory. Instead, the death toll for terrorists barely grows higher every day. Politicians fiddle and jockey for electoral advantage while tens of thousands of troops get sent once again, and for extended 15 month tours, to do the killin' that they do so well. Sadly, though, the list of terrorist dead is still well under 100,000 as a result of this war, which is tragically undersupported and underfunded by Bush and Congress.

Iraq is Bush's Vietnam. Or possibly Korea. Maybe the War of 1812. History's not my long suit. Anyway, this war based on "being nice" and "minimizing collateral damage" enters its fifth year with no end in sight.

Bush and the Generals hang on to the fantasy of military victory that doesn't include shedding oceans of Islamofascist blood. Congress voted to prolong the war for at least another year. If the war is not worth fighting after 2008, then why should one more Soldier or Marine be sent to kill terrorists in Iraq in 2007, when we have thousands of nuclear-tipped missiles that could kill terrorists for them?

The U.S. invasion and occupation has yet to kill the thugs and murderers who plunged Iraqi society into a terrible nightmare. We, the people, must act now, to stop this criminal enterprise. The drug-addled hippies, not the politicians, lost the Vietnam War. We must ignite a firestorm of grassroots pro-victory activity.

Starting in 1968, shortly after the pro-communist-slanted mis-reporting of the Tet Offensive, the defeatist idiots of this country became a major factor in the calculations of the warmakers. Treason and subversion grew in every community, in every school, and in the audience of every Grateful Dead concert, as tens of thousands of gullible morons became the simpering propaganda tools of the Viet Cong.

Starting then, it was impossible for any government leader, Pentagon spokesperson or pro-victory member of Congress to visit any community or school in the country without the knowledge that they would be confronted by some screeching, unbalanced, anti-war-tard too permanently stoned to even master a job as a "hot lipid potato engineer" at McDonald's. No military recruiter could dare come on any campus without having the knowledge that smelly, anti-American loser-monkeys would fling figurative and literal poo at them.

We all know what we got for listening to those thrice-bedamned crap-slingers, and the merry hell if we're letting it happen again!

We are proposing to tens of thousands of pro-victory activists and organizers around the country that we all join together and guarantee that wherever and whenever Bush, Cheney, government officials and other slinky-spined "pro-victory" members of Congress step out in public they will know with certainty that they will be met by REAL pro-victory protestors. Many committed pro-victory activists have been making it their business to confront the warmakers when they come to their towns. This must become a deepened, dedicated and concerted action of the pro-victory movement as a whole. We must make it clear to them that we will accept no outcome in this war that doesn't include making a pile of dead terrorists 1368 feet tall.

Twice.

This is the essence of the new nation-wide campaign called "Turn up the Heat in 2007." The campaign is very simple. ANSWER (Activate Nuclear Solution to Win and End Resistance) and other national pro-victory coalitions will mobilize for every local and regional action that confronts the war makers and their spokespersons whenever they appear in public. We will encourage them to have our troops use massive, overwhelming amounts of explosive, incendiary, and nuclear ordnance on our enemies. We must let our leaders know that we want the terrorists to burn on Earth before they burn in Hell.

This campaign starts now.

On May 26, there will be a demonstration at West Point, New York where Dick Cheney will be the keynote speaker at a graduation ceremony. Activists are assembling at Veteran's Park in nearby Highland falls at 8:30 a.m. for a march to the Thayer Gate into West Point. The ANSWER Coalition will be screaming their unquenchable thirst for terrorist blood at this demonstration.

Bush, Cheney and every other pussy-footing politician -- which means anyone who is for prolonging the Iraq war -- will feel the pressure of the Turn Up the Heat campaign in the weeks and months to come.

The Turn Up the Heat campaign will promote and publicize the effectiveness of nuclear weapons as a means of pacifying a fanatical enemy (Japan - hint, hint) and also encourage every action that contributes to the decisive breaking of either our enemies' support networks, will, or bodies - and the sooner, the better. The power to end the war is in the people, but we must step up the pressure from every direction.

Let's unite and support all pro-victory actions in 2007. Together we will Turn up the Heat. Together we will end this war with a decisive American victory and plenty of dead terrorists.

One of my readers - the (currently) blogless Chuck - sent me a report from the Coast Guard graduation attended by President Bush on May 23rd. I thought it'd be appropriate.

There were about 100 Eagles, Patriot Guard Riders, Rolling Thunder, American Legion Riders and Vets and family supporters on our side of the road.

On the other side, not one American flag in their midst, contrary to their professing their troop support. While our side of the road was a sea of Red, White, and Blue. A sight to behold. Almost all of the attending guests honked their horns for us, gave us thumbs up, or waved American flags out their windows as they drove by.

After the first 3 hours the moonbats finally produce an American flag after we chastised them for their "SO CALLED SUPPORT" (heh).

One young girl, maybe 10 or 11, was holding a hand made sign that said "BUSH IS SCUM". She was encouraged by her mother to keep displaying the sign.

While the rally was in progress, some of the college students took pink chalk and defaced the monument in front of the academy that states "COAST GUARD ACADEMY". They drew a peace sign on one side and on the other wrote "resist empire". I think they were trying to write "resist imperialism" but they couldn't figure out how to spell "imperialism" (LOL).

As is obvious, even to the most casual observer, we were indeed outnumbered, but just from looking at the photos there is no doubt about who "SUPPORTS OUR TROOPS".

Here are the pics: The first two are from a small rally in New Haven, CT, in a park called The Green, one is of the "MOTHERS FOR PEACE" group the other is GOE. Not one American flag but a whole lot of "cut and run" signs on their side.

(click to enlarge on all photos)

The rest are from the US Coast Guard Academy. Can you tell who the supporters were? LOL.

Don'tcha just love the defacing job?

After the rally, one of our Eaglettes took her bottle of water and a napkin and washed off the chalk. We couldn't leave it looking like that for the new graduating officers to see on their way out of the Academy. IT JUST WOULDN'T A BEEN RIGHT!

One thing I noticed and I'm sure others did as well, that the State Police, The New London Police and the Coast Guard Security people that stood in the center of the road always faced the moonbats with their backs to us. My take on this is they knew that if there was trouble, it would come from their side, and the Eagles and supporters would watch their backs. I don't know about you, but that made me pretty damn proud.

Thanks, Chuck.

No more excuses for the MSM not being able to cover the good news in Iraq.

Hell, Chris Muir managed to cram everything you need to know in one Day by Day comic strip.

They REALLY need to work harder.

Seriously, I've never seen that "47 embassies" number reported ANYWHERE.

WTF?

Blogson-in-law Alex of Alex in Wonderland reports that he and blogdaughter Sally of Whimsy Capricious have finally finished that project they've been working on:

On Monday 21st May at 11:11pm, after 18.5 hours of gruelling labour, baby Jamie decided to make his appearance. He was one week early born on exactly 39 weeks. It was all a bit of a rush at the end but he made it, Sally made it (although she said for a second baby he was hard work!) and I made it.

I feel like I should be doing something right now, but I'm not sure what would be appropriate.

Maybe some tea...

In a post about a manualist musician (that's "hand-farting" to the proletariat) performing "The Entertainer", A lot of Straight White Eric's commenters mentioned other of his works, but failed to provide linkage to those performances.

Shame on them!

Blogging is all about reader convenience - making it as easy as possible for your readers to enjoy that which you've enjoyed.

With that in mind, I offer what Eric's commenter's didn't.

Bohemian Rhapsody:

Classical Gas:

Iron Maiden's "The Trooper":

And his tutorial on Manualism:
